OPINION

Don't Give Cell Phones to Kids

Russell Blaylock, M.D. By Wednesday, 09 August 2017 04:42 PM EDT Current | Bio | Archive

The cell phone industry has now targeted children ages 5 and under — even toddlers — with their promotional campaigns.

One advertisement shows a picture of a product called a baby iPhone Rattle Case — and the iPhone is lying directly over this toddler’s testicles.

Not only can this increase the child’s risk of developing testicular cancer later in life, it can also damage the chromosomes in the child’s sperm, leading to congenital defects in future generations.

In my opinion, the people who created this campaign should be put in prison.

Another advertisement promotes an app that makes white noise. It is meant to be placed under the child’s head to encourage sleep.

Young children’s skulls are much thinner than adults’ skulls. Microwaves have been shown to penetrate the entire brains of children when their heads are placed near such devices.

To be exposed to this radiation for hours is extremely hazardous. Yet I now see very small children using these devices everywhere I go.

Such gadgets have become the modern pacifiers for babies and small children. On many occasions, I have seen parents let small children play with their own cell phones, which emit microwave radiation even when not in use.

Studies have shown that exposure to cell phones before the age of 20 triples the risk of developing brain tumors like acoustic neuromas and meningiomas.
